I like the layout of the page when I use the Featured Image, however, it links to the blank page where the image sits flush left top.
I’d like to either link it to a lightbox function or take the link away altogether.
I was using NextGen gallery and was able to force a lightbox on featured images, however, I liked MaxGallery better, but when I switched over, I found MaxGallery doesn’t have that feature, nor could that plugin developer help me make it happen.
Thank you,
Mitch
Hi Mitch
Thanks for running Origami.
Featured images can be de-activated from Appearance > Theme Settings > Display > Display Featured Image. By default Featured Images aren’t linked on either the archive or post pages. You can see this default behaviour here: http://demo.siteorigin.com/origami/ and http://demo.siteorigin.com/origami/2013/05/06/up-in-the-clouds/.
I’m not 100% sure how the featured got linked, perhaps from the plugin side of things. What about trying Jetpack Carousel to get a lightbox going there?

Thank you for the quick reply, Andrew. I’ll be trying that out and get back to let you know how it went.
For sure. Hope that helps.
Andrew,
I’m a stupid idiot. I forgot I had written a bit of code in order to make those links and to style some diamond-shaped images differently. I was relying on NextGen Gallery’s forcing all images on the site to open in a lightbox, but when I bailed on NextGen in favor of MaxGalleria, that particular feature wasn’t available – and things broke. It was in my loop.php where I checked for if the image was among a list of IDs for the diamond-shaped works, then styled them with a different class, and everything got wrapped in an anchor tag as well.
Duh on me.
Easy thing to miss when you’re busy! Glad to hear you found the solution.
All the best with your site.
